Market Experts' Insights
Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities
Early action at GIFT Nifty suggests a volatile day as sentiment wavers after Federal Reserve officials, including Governor Christopher Waller, reiterated the need for sustained inflation decline before considering rate cuts. Anxiety prevails ahead of the FOMC minutes release. Despite record FPI outflows and rising India VIX above 21, Nifty’s outlook remains optimistic. Metal stocks, buoyed by rising copper prices due to Chinese housing market interventions, are in focus. The falling WTI crude prices at $78 per barrel add a positive note. Technically, Nifty remains bullish, aiming for all-time highs of 22,795 and beyond. Recommended trades include Nifty targets at 22,600/22,795 and Bank Nifty at 48,551/48,901. Notable stock pick: ADANI PORTS with targets at 1,401/1,425.
